SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Iatent No. 301,181, dated July 1, 1884. Application filed November17,l883. (no model.)

My invention relates to certain improve neuts in that classfof revolving firearms in which the cylinder is swung out laterally and has its bearing-support at the front end, as specially referred to in another application, designated as Case A, and filed by me si multaneously with this.

My present invention relates particularly to the special construction and arrangementof the ejector-rod. and operatingrlever, by

means of which the former is permitted to" freely rotate with the cylinder; and-my inven} tion also hasfor its object to providea means for positively locking the rear end of the cyliuderin. proper alignment with the barrel at or before the discharge; and, with these ends necting the forward end of the ejector rod or stem with the rear end .of the link, by which-it in turn is connected-to the operating-lever (described in Case A) ,in such manher that the ejector-rod is free to rotate, and.

may be readily disconnected from' the link; and niy invention by a pull on the trigger, and which shall-be thereby noved upwardly and across a curved groovein the breech to lock therein a projecting whereby the latter is locked at therear end Similar letters denotelike parts in the sev- 5o eral figures.

:enter centrally the rear "end of a in rear of the view, my invention consists, first, in con contact with the end of the channel H at the has been locked by the locking plate or bolt describedin Case A; and in order that the consists, secondly, in pro-. viding a bolt adapted to be operated positively teat on the rear end .of the cylinder,

front .end, asdescrioed, the ejector stem havchrepresents the ejectordisk or plate witn its centrally-arranged rod or stem B and retaining sprihg G, which may be arranged-in any suitable manner. *The forward end, D, of the stemB is formed with an'annular groove as clearly shown at Fig.2, and is'adapted to link, E, and secure against longitudinal movement therein by a transverse rivet,F, whereby the said stem is free to rotate within the end of the link, so that the ejector and its stem may revolve with the cylinder. The link E is pivoted to the bell-cranklever' or arm in the manner shown and described in the applica tion hereinbefore referred to, andto which'reference is made for a full understanding of the SHARE.

G represents the front orface' of the breech back end of the .cylindei-,-and H is a curved channel formed in the face of the breech, into which projectsa teat-,- I, (see Figs. 1 and 3,) projecting rearward from the center of the cylinder. This teat comes in moment the'cylinderisin proper axial align- 7 5 ment with the barrel,.and when its front end rear end of the cylinder shall be positively secured in this position at the-time of firing the weapon, I provide a short vertically -'reciprocating bolt, K, seated within a vertical groove. in the face of "the breech and intersecting the curved channel H at such pointthat whenthe said bolt is in its upward posi- 8 5 tiou, as seen at Fig. 8, it will conhne the teat I in" place; The lower end of the bolt K is pivotally connected, as shown at L, to the upper rear end of the trigger, and obviously, as the trigger is pulled to dischargethe weapon, the bolt K is forced up ward and securely locks the cylinder.

What I here claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a revolver in which the cylinder swings laterally outward upon a pivot-bearing at the ing its forward end provided with an annular groove and secured in position within the end of a link, E, by means of a pin. F. in combi- {00 nation with the'leve r adaptedto operate the same, snbstantiallyas and for the purpose set forth;

2. In combination with the cylinder adapt ed to swing laterally outward, and provided with 2t projecting teat, I, at the rear end, the curved channel H and vertically reciprocating bolt K, connected to the trigger M, substantially as shown, whereby the rear end of the cylinder is locked before firing, as herein- 10 before set forth.

In-testimony' whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the,'presence of two subscribing witnesses.
